Nasty brawl breaks out in Canada-Mexico WBC game

By:

PHOENIX — A nasty brawl broke out in the ninth inning of the World Baseball Classic game between Mexico and Canada on Saturday, with Boston reliever Alfredo Aceves among the several players throwing punches.

The fights erupted after Canada's Rene Tosoni was hit by a pitch from Arnold Leon with Canada leading 9-3 at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a wild scene, as chaotic as any on a major league field in recent years.
